Christmas Spirit around the Middle East

We can’t believe it’s Christmas already! We, people of the Middle East, love holidays and everything that come with them. It doesn’t matter what political, economic or social issues we’re going through, nothing will stop us from celebrating any sort of holiday that crosses our path and Christmas is no exception.

Whether we celebrate it by unveiling the most expensive Christmas tree in the world or by sitting with Santa in ruins, we find a way or another to spread the joyful spirit of Christmas.
